Aly Keita's "Kalo-Yele" is a captivating fusion of Gnawa and free jazz, released on Intakt Records in January 2015.

The album opens with the title track "Kalo-Yele," setting the stage for an exploration of African musical traditions, with tracks like "Nyanga" and "Mamabamako" showcasing Keita's deep connection to his roots. Meanwhile, pieces such as "Bean Bag" and "Dreams of Mikael" highlight his jazz influences, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. The album's final track, "Adjamé Street," leaves the listener with a sense of having witnessed a true musical conversation between cultures and genres. "Kalo-Yele" is a powerful demonstration of Aly Keita's artistry and his ability to create music that is both deeply personal and universally appealing.
